1.0 out of 5 stars
Terrible book, unsafe designs,
By "spirithowler" (Slingerlands, New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Wooden Toys: 12 Easy-to-Do Projects with Full-Size Templates (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
I do not recommened this book for several reasons the first and foremost being that the designs in my opinion are not safe for children. While the book recommends the use of non-toxic paint so that the toys are safe for a small child to use, the designs call for nail heads and thin dowels to protrude from the toys and the joinery called for in the designs is so poor that small pieces could easily break off and choke a child. The designs are crude and uninspired. A child with a crayon could do as well. The beginner woodworker will find only a half page of written instructions in the entire book. Among other things, these instructions make the absurb suggestion of using a hole saw with a hand (non-electric) drill. The intermediate or advanced wookworker will be appalled at the shoddy quality of the finished toys in the photographs. Wheels are not round, joints to not fit properly, cuts have ragged edges that have not been sanded, a child with no experience could make a better toy from wood. This book should not have been published. I gave it one star because I could not give it zero. Not recomended, save your money.

I wish I had read the review before ordering. The book is just a collection of simple shapes but no text or photos detailing the actual process. Like a sewing pattern without the intruction sheet.

I have had a great time making simple wooden toys for my grandson. The book contains patterns for several simple toys.
